Technically, under 4172 is not a pin. It should close under 4170.
Short is very considerable.

And don't harm kitten.
I have one, and he is trading with me.
Depends on your feed price. Mine would have been 4172 and kept the prior PA candle in play with a double PA cande for shorting.

hi eo, i would short in this scenario, is that correct you think?
Yes, that is correct. Once we close the US Session, we'll see how she plays out.

That's right bro! We did not get the close we wanted though so it may well go up some more.. The daily is looking bullish atm and if we close like this we could head higher...

I may be a bit early but I shorted at the top of the channel and will look to tp later on.. I may have to pay interest on my short though....

I was going to ask if you would have taken the short from the top of the channel, but you've answered my question.
Would you lock in now after candle has closed below top or leave it to breathe?
please DON'T copy my trades I am still learning

Mines still open to breathe atm. I probably should TP and wait for the close of the day, but I'm looking at 411x for final TP and don't want to be taken out by a spike.

Also noticed that that top of the channel coincides with 35sma on 4 hour where I might have shorted as it quite often retreats after touching it

The candle has not closed yet... I originally planned to add at the h4 50ema but if we get a solid hour close outside of the channel I would reconsider..

I'm looking to start taking profit at the m15 50ema... I think the bottom of the channel is also possible too.. but there are lots of support areas in the way...

True in deed! Let's see if history repeats itself for us and drops her pants once we close.
